Ukraine's Race to Counter Russian Drones
Russian attacks on Ukraine have intensified with the introduction of jet-powered drones, which are challenging to shoot down. In August alone, Russia launched nearly 3,000 of these new drones, making it a costly battle for Kyiv, who have relied on missiles and fighter jets.
Ukraine is now racing to develop low-cost weapons to counter this threat. The BBC's Abdujalil Abdurasulov spoke with Ukrainian air defense units about their efforts to fight back against these new drones.
